    First off, sorry if this is in the wrong place, I couldn't decide between here, help desk, or feedback.

    I got an email last night saying that someone(not me) had attempt to log in to my account incorrectly 5 times and that the person at ip address x.x.x.x was block for 15 minutes.
    Then got two emails saying someone(also not me) had requested a password reset.

    I've changed my boards password just to be safe, is there anything else I need to do.

    Nothing else really, you've covered all the bases. If you want to be super paranoid you could change your email address password but I think this would be approaching tinfoil hat territory.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
